We lived with a Bentley Continental V8 GTC for six months: here's our final verdict

No Wayfarers, no slicked-back hair. But a few months with a droptop Conti GT would have cheered Don Henley right up

Ferrari, Aston, Porsche all offer more exciting GTs. If you crave a hair-trigger throttle, a chassis so pointy you could use it to pick weeds out of block paving, and steering that chatters away like a retired couple at the head of a very long checkout queue, this is not the car for you. But when comfort, luxury, and build quality like a four-wheeled Rolex become the priorities, the Bentley is right up there in a class of one.
